Errare Humanum Est

PREMIERE: Felipe Gordon - Take It Acid Comes

If you like your dance music to take you on a psychedelic journey through time and space, the DESERT LEATHER EP is for you.

Winding passages that explore breaks, bleeps, bass and beyond.

Genre defying influences snatched from every dimension of the dance diaspora.

Inescapable body-rocking beats that echo through your very bones so hard that even your ancestors have a boogie.

The DESERT LEATHER EP will expand your mind to the very edge of the horizon, where earth and sky meet and where all laws of nature are meaningless.

Plenty of Nothing

Asha Puthli is a singer-songwriter, producer, and actress born on February 4, 1945, and raised in Bombay, India. With works published on EMI, CBS/Sony, and RCA, her rich sonority covers Blues, Pop, Rock, Soul, Funk, Disco, and Techno and has achieved recognition not only in the United States but also in Europe.

This incredible release, coming soon on vinyl and digital formats on Los Angeles-based Naya Beat Records, is an actual tribute to Asha’s incredible legacy: "Disco Mystic – Select Remixes Volume 1" comes with six must-have versions made with love by a true dream team of Disco/Nu Disco authorities: Yuksek, Maurice Fulton, Kraak & Smaak, Turbotito & Ragz, Psychemagik and Jitwam delivered new brightness to "I Am Song (Sing Me)", "Space Talk", "Lies", "One Night Affair", "Right Down Here", and "I'm Gonna Dance", respectively.

Premiered here, Kraak & Smaak’s brilliant take on Asha’s 1973’s “Lies” honours the original by keeping almost all the main elements – the crying guitar solo, for instance, had to be taken away but for a good reason: The acclaimed Dutch trio aimed at the stars for their remix and decided to deliver a more cosmic interpretation. It’s undoubtedly an outcome that will please not only the fans of this visionary artist but also the ones who will get familiar with her outstanding work from now on.    

You can find (and buy) this and other music pearls on the Bandcamp page of the label: https://nayabeat.bandcamp.com/

PREMIERE522 // Asha Puthli - Lies (Kraak & Smaak Remix)

The waterpark was open for business as the crowds poured in to celebrate the summertime. It was sunny out and the deep blue pools rippled in the glow of the morning sunshine as the people gathered and assembled in their swarms.

Above water there was a myriad of colours - wicked shiny plastic everywhere as if illuminating the land with some kind of fluorescent force. Slides and features, walls and wheels, signs and speakers. It was an assault on the senses as colour deafened all else.

The sound of splashing from the pools was loud as the tinny sound of music blared from loudspeakers all over the waterpark.

EZ Dee channels the early, nostalgic sound of classic House and Electro on a new EP which sounds as though it could of ripped through speakers in the early 90's. Hard hitting original sounds from Miami Beach for the true school heads in the club.

PREMIERE: EZ Dee - Plastic Baby [Open Space]
